Good analysis Rick but the last one gave me a chuckle.

"F Lee Melchionni ( soph ) - was class president during his junior year of high school. Also involved in the Student Council, the Singing Patriots (a competitive performing group), Kids Teaching Kids and the Ambassador Club as a prep student."

I am sure you are not insinuating these achievement have anything to do with academics...extracurriculars yes...academics no.

This being said, Duke has more than its share of academically bright kids to defend itself against the likes of UNLV.

Cheers.

1843 -

I cut & pasted that line directly from Duke's site. Thought about deleting the 'Singing Patriots' but just couldn't do it !!!!

Being Class President, envolved in Student Council as well as a school 'Ambassador' ( if it's akin to same at my son's prep school, being a top student is a prerequisite ), are indicative that young Melchionni likely didn't score a 925/950 on his SAT's.

BTW, coming down your way this weekend to visit my nephew, catch the Spring football scrimmage and take in the Wake-UNC baseball game on Saturday. I'll remember to wear my purple HC golf shirt and likely will have my Wake baseball hat on top. If you spot a guy at either game who I've been told bares a physical resemblence to Tommy Lee Jones, come over and chat !

Hope all is going well with the studies....
